Okay moved to Grounded forums. Don't know what other game I lost.

As I was working evenings at the time, I was at my computer desk playing Baldur's Gate, hoovering the Fog of War off maps, when the news I had on in the background started showing the towers after the first plane hit. They were talking about how they thought a plane had hit when the second hit.

Which game?

RIP - a good actress, and seemed to be a fun person from her interviews.

I believe its supposed to be a series of one off episodes with percolating story lines over multiple episides.

vampires.

He probably means blood. Hurl's outed himself as a vampire.

How is Moontrap? Thats one I haven't seen. Also haven't seen Thou Shall Not Kill...Except.

I haven't seen the series since it ended, so am watching them all as a lot of them I just have at best vague memories of.

It wasn't awful, but like a lot of the weaker (IMO) episodes, it is sort of half baked. Like they could have used a couple more script passes to better work out the ideas they were working with.

I am too. An episode a week. I'm nearing the end of season four.

In other news, I always find it puzzling how people seem to think that 'guilty' people shouldn't have a lawyer to defend them. There's a local politician who I'm not a fan of, but there are some disturbing PAC attack ads that are like "AND AS A LAWYER HE DEFENDED MURDERS AND RAPISTS!!!! AND THEY GOT BAIL! OMG!"

Unfortunately I can't remember the organization whose data was used when the governing body redesigning Learning Support; its over 5 years old and perhaps supplanted by the suggested studies from the quoted article. But at the time the data showed even with grade inflation, GPA alone was a better predictor than SAT/ACT alone. Also tests can be used in ways they can't really support - the old ACT COMPASS test was used for admissions decisions by a lot of universities when its stated intended use was to fine tune placement decisions for students that the institution already knew where their skill range lay. The best methods, from the data at the time, were always one that took into account many factors about the student, to get as much data about the student to make decisions.

What Gromnir is referring to is what Trump talked about when he was Candidate Trump not his executive orders as President Trump. This is what was posted to his website, as a candidate - Emphasis mine. This text was later removed, but Trump stood by it IIRC during the trials for the Executive Orders he issued that were a series of bans of people from majority Muslim countries (and it took three tries to get a version that the Supreme Court didn't knock down; as I recall the third one went through due to a provision added that would allow people to go around the ban, or be waived of its effects).

IIRC canned meats can still be good up to 5 years, but I think typically 2-3. Someone with a bunker might be more sure of their answer.

Data has shown for some time that even with grade inflation, HS GPA is a better indicator of Freshman success than SAT or ACT. The value, therefore, of SAT and ACT have been going down with many schools adopting multiple measures where SAT/ACT are only one part of the equation. That there continues to be socio-economic differences in test scores has been a known problem for some time. In many ways, this is an issue that has been many years coming. SAT and ACT have revised their tests over the last few years (and continue to work on an electronic revision); I think they've recognized a need to adapt. Not really sure. I could guess that it might be down to mostly logistical issues. If the accommodations are for the same day testing, the students are usually going to get a separate room. Most SAT/ACT testing doesn't change year-to-year, there is a pool of proctors and a set of rooms that are usually used. COVID requirements from The College Board and ACT are going to lead to needing more rooms, which is going to lead to more proctors being needed. Existing proctors are skittish to come on campus under the existing guidelines (I know a number of proctors not happy that College Board and ACT are not mandating masks). I imagine a lot of the places that offer SAT/ACT are looking at the separate rooms for accommodated students and thinking if they can use those rooms/proctors for the regular population, then they're going to be able to test more of their traditional population, but if they do that they don't have rooms/proctors to use for the accommodated testing. And that's without the struggle to find enough space and people to meet the requirements to test even without any other consideration since again there usually isn't much change year-to-year in space or staff. On the extreme edge of accommodations are students who end up taking the test over multiple days which can be a challenge (and always has been - students will call around to every place that offers it to find someone willing to proctor it, with many unable to). I don't think COVID impacts this much - it was always a struggle for students taking the exam in this case. I suppose that institutions that are limiting in person contact may be less able to offer 2-3 days to test a student face-to-face. But that's a guess.
